If you are in the market for a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom fixer-upper (I was going to say gutter but I think my version of gutter is different than most) house on Shaw just steps to Trinity-Bellwoods park with a detached 2 car garage....

This is the place.  

It's amazing.

Not right now, but it could be.

This semi on an 18.5 x 125.75 foot lot has been in the same owners for the last 49 years and they have taken VERY good care of it.

And if these aren't the owners...

And if that is just a random painting, I think I would have to see if they could throw it in with the house.

It's amazing.  Everything about it.

The house is terrific too.  

The house could be totally gutted like the larger house at 140 Crawford Street that sold for $1,600,000 last spring, or you could leave most of the walls as is and do some 'fix ups'.

The carpet needs to go, as does the bathroom and kitchen, but with not a ton of work, this could be a great house.

I would want to move the dining room into the 'old' dining room area and open the back to create a large kitchen/family room with a big glass door walk out to the backyard.

The panelling would look great painted, either black or white.  The bannister is in good shape and the floors on the second floor look okay too.  Plus, there is probably the same floor under the carpet on the first floor.

This house could be done with probably under $200,000 of work (unless you wanted to finish the basement).

It is listed at $779,000.

It isn't sitting for long and will probably go closer to $913,000.

Maybe a little less.  

This is the garage...

Otherwise, it's great.
